married one of the five daughters Of Mrs.
Patten, Of Washington, is spending his
honeymoon in San Francisco His

mother. Mrs. Glover has renewed some
old acquaintance, as she lived in San
Francisco a short time before going to
Europe with her sisters to complete her
education. The wealth of the family
was derived from fortunate mining IN
vestments on the Comstock Lode by
Charles Pntten, who was an intimate
friend and associate Of Senator John ?,
Jones, of Nevada.

It's safe to predict that the young
woman mentioned below will succeed
with anything she may undertake. She
is not likely to spend any time in search
of eight work, and her example is
refreshing one Of genuine pluck and per-
severance. An Iowa paper says of her:
Miss Marcia McDonough is teaching
the winter term of school in Union Town
ship, and she walks six and half miles
to and from her school every day.
She has not missed day this winter
and is always on time. Her salary is
thirty dollars per month, and her school
is one of the best in the country.
Here is an example for certain class
of young men who "loaf' seven days in
the week, complaining all the time that
they can find nothing to do because of
'shard times.

Contrary to what some persons might
imagine, the present Pope, says Count
Vasili, is a great Spectator, and sub
scribes to all the Italian loans. When
the latter rise he sells out and invests the
profits in English consols. The ordina-
ry budget of the Holy See is two hun
dred and forty thousand pounds per an
mum. Leo XIII receives nothing from
it. 1t is distributed by the major domo
Of the Vatican among the cardinals re-
siding in Rome-obout one thousand
pounds year each-the prelates OF the
courts, the secretaries, the nuncioS, the
Pontifcial army, etc. The extraordina-
ry budget is derived from a third source,
supplied by the receipts of the Apostolic
Chancellery. The collation. of titles OF
nobility, decorations, blessings in artl-
culo mortis, altar privileges, private chap
els. ecclesiastical titles-such are few
of the resources which make up the prl-
waite purse OF the Sovereign Pontiff, and
on which he relies to exercise his gener-
oslty. The produce Of these various
branches of revenue is about one hun
dred thousand pounds year. It will
thus be seen that the personal budget of
the Pope is derived in great measure
from the satisfaction Of human vanity.

The Catholic and Greek Union.

Although the report that negotiations
are pending between the Vatican and ST.
Petersburgh for a union of the Roman and
Greek Catholic churches is without any
official authority, it seems to be quite ex-
tensively accepted as possible event.
There seems to be no reason why these
different branches of the Catholic church
should not be united. The advantages to
be gained by such a step have been admit
ted by the authorities of both churches in
the past, and this is not the first time that
efforts have been made to secure a union.
The differences between the Roman and
Greek Catholic churches are not so rad
I ical but that they might readily be har.
monized In the Greek church the first sew
en- general councils of the Catholic church
are accepted. Only the later councils and
the papal authority, are rejected. The
Greeks are in agreement with the Roman
Catholics in accepting tradition as to
some extent the rule of faith. That is,
those things which "are believed to
be the unwritten revelations of our
Lord and of the apostles, preserved
by the testimony of the Fathers" are ac-
cepted as as binding as holy writ The
Greek church repudiates purgatory, and
its clergy do not practice celibacy.
The Greek church numbers about 75,-
OOO, 600 members, divided into several dis
tinct branches. The principal branch is
the Russian. There are other branches
| in the Turkish empire, in Greece and else
where. The Turkish branch is subject
to the Patriarch of Constantinople. In
Greece the king is the head of the church
A great part of the generation with which
the car is regarded in Russia, is due to
his position as the head of the church.
If he should yield this authority he would
surrender function which renders his
person sacred in the eyes of believers
1t may not be generally known that
there exists at the present time connect
ing link between the Roman and Gree
churches, which ought to have some in
fiuence in effecting their union. There are
in Italy, Austria, Poland and even in Rus
STA about 100000 members of the United
Greek church who use the liturgy of the
oriental church, but acknowledge the su.
prem acy of the pope. The fact that SC
large number of worshippers can and dc
hold allegiance to both branches of the
Catholic church, would seem to afford a
good standpoint and base of action, for
those who now favor the union of the
church es.

The California Fruit Industry

Within the past few years there has
been developed very profitable and
promising industry IN California, in the
raising of oranges and grapes for the East
ern market. The superb quality, especial
ly of the California grapes has created a
great demand for them in the Eastern
market, and much capital has been invest
ed in the vineyards and orange groves ON
the Pacific slope. The question now arises,
is the interstate commerce law going to
render these investments Improbable
The fruit dealersl are very much afraid
that it Will, and are making strong efforts

against loss The prospect is that this year S
fruit crop in California will be enormous,
Growers estimate that there will be from
2000 to 5000 car loads of green fruit for
Eastern shipment, exclusive of citrine
fruits. Last year the shipments of green
fruit amounted to only about 1000 car
loads. Unless rates of transportation can
be secured which will enable dealers TO
put this fruit crop on the Eastern market
at a fair profit. overproduction Is likely
to have very serious and discouraging
effect upon the fruit-raising industry of

Since Mayor Hewitt has enforced the
law closing saloons and forbidding the
selling of liquor on Sunday in New York
city, the daily papers of the city melropo,
lis have devoted hundreds of columns to
the inconvenience and distress caused by
this "puritanic" action on the part of the
mayor. They thus pander to the appe-
tites and prejudices of the masses, as they
are apt to do whenever question comes
up involving moral distinctions. If their
readers occasionally get high-tuned edi-
torial. it is too often neutralized by the
low tone of the news and local columns.
Mayor Hewitt is simply enforcing law
demanded by the moral sentiment of the
best portion of the citizens, and deserves
praise for his course.

The finance committee of the Virginia
Senate has reported against any further
tax for payments on the State debt, on
the ground that "every admissible sub.
ject of taxation has been sought and tax
ed' already. The assessed property in
Virginia is valued at s347 ,OOO, 900, and the
State tax last year was 40 cents on 500
This is not very high rate, considering
the obligations under which Virginia
rests and no good reason is given why it
might not be considerably increased.
Maine, Missouri and Pennsylvania pay the
same rate. California pays 81 cents on

min years. If the same average extends
through the country 1920 lives have been
lost and 1890 persons MANNED for life by
this cause alone in the last nine years. or
within a tenth as many as have been killed
and one-half more than have been injured
by all the railroad accidents in the coun-
try. 1t seems strange that some efficient
automatic car coupler should not make
its way into sufficiently general use, to do
away with this serious loss of life and
limb. Innumerable such couplers have

mand general acceptance by builders of
